When you say 'bled thru' do you mean the video bled through? 

If yes, then that sounds like the virtual terminal settings in advanced settings, you could switch this off easily. I experienced the same issue the other day, I just fiddled with the options and all went well after that. DesqView is really good for my needs in 2025. I have multi-tasking pretty much for whatever I want, runs fast and I don't have any bugs that I notice in protected mode.
